♪ first hymn. [Action//Voice]

[seleniahymn]

... Perhaps it's Keterburg? But... how did I end up here...?

[Her voice is soft and clearly alert, studying the situation at hand. Anyone paying attention to their journals may catch a glimpse of a brunette woman shuffling around in the dark forest, stiffening visibly when she catches sight of the red-violet wings protruding from her back

[Voice]

[soreplaceable]

[The mention of Keterburg alone would have been enough to grab Ion's attention, but there was no mistaking that voice.]

Tear? Is that you?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

[That voice. That voice. But how? He had sacrificed himself for...]

Fon Master...?!

[Voice]

[soreplaceable]

[Well, at least he has an idea what point in time she's from now.]

Yes, it's me. Although I think an explanation for that will have to wait... [He glances out the window; dark and snowy wasn't a good combination while wearing new feather clothes.] Can you see anything around you? Perhaps, a river?

[Voice]

[seleniahymn]

A river? [She falls silent, listening carefully to the area around her.] ... I hear one in the distance, but it's hard to tell.

Fon Master, where are you?

[galddigger]

[Anise almost drops her journal in surprise. She was just looking through it casually - she wasn't expecting a familiar face!]

Tear!

[seleniahymn]

[Tear recognizes this voice too, a wave of relief washing over her. Good, she'd found one of them.]

Anise, where are you? Are you alone as well?

[galddigger]

[Technically she is, all nice and bundled up in her room.]

I - um, sort of? Wait, where are you? You just got here, right?

[Tear can probably hear some scrambling about in the background.]

[seleniahymn]

[LUCKY ANISE.]

Yes, right now I'm out in the forest, I was instructed to find a river nearby. [She isn't sure that she should mention that it was Ion who told her just yet.]

[voice]

[alittlesilver]

You know Keterburg?

[sorry it's not a sane adult greeting you this time, Tear.]

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[A small child? She seems vaguely familiar...] Yes, I know Keterburg.

[voice]

[alittlesilver]

Do you know how I can get there?

[voice]

[seleniahymn]

[Well this is a problem.] I'm not sure... What's your name?

[count_gardios]

[But here is a sane adult for you Tear.]

I see the tag-team found you already. [The tag-team being Ion and Anise of course.]

[seleniahymn]

[Hooray sane adult! Guy always knows how to lighten the mood a little.] Guy?

[count_gardios]

The one and only. You all right Tear? [He pauses to listen again.] Anise is coming to collect you?

[seleniahymn]

I'm fine. [Aside from being out in the snow.] She said she would meet me along the way.

[cakeblocked]

[Luke was just putting Xion's birthday gift in a safe place when... he knows that voice!]

... Tear?

[seleniahymn]

[Whaddya know, Tear knows that voice too. The relief in her own is pretty obvious when she speaks.]

Luke?

[cakeblocked]

When did you- You just got here, didn't you?

[seleniahymn]

Y-yes... I'm in the forest, Anise told me to follow a river into the village.
